Mother Earth

                                                           INTOXICATING DREAM
                                                           BIRDSONG
                                                           CARESSING THE SOUL
                                                           EMERALD GREEN
                                                           DANCING
                                                           TO THE TUNE OF ABUNDANCE

                                                           HUNGER
                                                           NOT ONLY FOR FOOD
                                                           SUFFERING
                                                           NO TIME FOR SPIRIT
                                                           DIS EASE
                                                           A DYING RACE

                                                          WHOSE SIDE A YOU ON?

Whose Side Are On?
 Mother Earth showed us, and shared with us, unconditional love and beauty. Creation at its best. God`s perfection. We have then distorted her vibrations by take, take, taking without giving back. Without nurturing her in return for all that she provides for us. Our greed and ego has allowed our Earth to become out of balance and distorted and we, as reflections of her, have also become diseased and distorted. Disconnection to the Divine. Spirit dying.
Whose side are you on? is inviting the viewer to not only consider the future of our Earth but to take responsible action in our daily lives. The future is not somewhere we are going to. It is being made by us, this very moment.

                                                             Our Mother, our Earth
                                                                   Feels
                                                                   Our every move
                                                                   Hears
                                                                   Our every breath
                                                                   Thinks
                                                                   Our every thought
                                                                   And suffers
                                                                   Our smallest pain
                                                                   She bares the burden
                                                                   Of our separation

Happiness comes from within. So take a walk in nature, feel the wind upon your cheek, listen to the music of creation. Touch home. Allow your inner being to breathe once again and tread lightly, be respectful to each other, yourself and Mother Earth.

Years ago I was involved in an envirofest in Yungaburra. There were many stalls and activities to do with educating the community re sustainable living. We also had an art exhibition to do with sustainability. The night before the envirofest I painted and collaged the above painting. The buildings in the picture are all chopped up share market data. If you can enlarge the picture on your screen you will be able to see many statements taken from the newspaper about greed and fear (on the right of the picture) and many statements about beauty, & happiness, on the left. The blue river on the left is the river of life, of Spirit, very active in nature. This 'river' starts to dry up as the years of abuse distorts and ravages the earth. Sorrow and tears flow from the river when the flow is dwindling. Spirit, and happiness, is lost. Dis ease follows.

Mother Earth really is our teacher, so enjoy her.
